Do release dates mean anything?

With people getting their hands on GTA V early and retailers sending it out a lot earlier than they should, I ask, do release dates really mean anything?

Yes, it's the day most people will get the game.

With a game like GTA 5, everyone is having that same shared experience at the same time, but also by themselves.

We will all be discovering this game for the first time and creating nostalgic, lasting memories that will be with us for years.

Also for online FPS games you want to be playing while the community is new and full.

I think retailers who break the release dates should be punished in some way by the publishers, mostly if said retailer has done it multiple times. It's unfair competition and, I would presume, a breach of contract with the game's publisher. If a retailer isn't willing to play by the rules, said retailer probably shouldn't receive the publisher's next big game at launch, that would likely teach them a lesson (for example, had a retailer sold Red Dead Redemption early, he would not receive GTA5 at launch).

That is how its supposed to be. Retailers breaking street date get fined and they are supposed to be blacklisted for the publisher but usually when the next game rolls around the publishers just want to push as many copies as possible. Then i would imagine repeat offenders would be shown the door. My retailer accidentaly broke release on the kings speech dvd and there was madness over it. If one store breaks streetdate all others are allowed to for a level playing field

skyrim had 11.11.11 going for it, and i think fridays are more popular especially later in the year

Just get the games out and about dont let it be held when shops have it they should sell it.

Release dates build hype and anticipation.

The 'Stop Killing Games' initiative is close to its final deadline

Ross Scott—also known as Accursed Farms on YouTube—has been fighting tooth and nail for almost a full year to help spearhead game preservation. Starting after it was announced that Ubisoft's The Crew would be shutting down, permanently ending support for the game, Scott launched the "Stop Killing Games" initiative.

That makes a twofold deadline for the Stop Killing Games initiative. Or, at least, one headed up by Scott: The UK petition, which ends July 14, and the EU Citizens' Initiative, which ends July 3.

"Players can now hide system apps, pin favorites to the list, and reduce the number of tiles displayed. This update is part of our ongoing effort to make Home more personal, flexible, and responsive to feedback."

This is welcomed, i like a less cluttered home screen.

Well its MS news... those are usually pretty dry, unless it has something to do with another game being ported to PS. then its top of the pops.

Oh look no further than the "Upcoming layoffs at MS" topic. It will easily top the Hottest of the week.

Special guests like Mr. Dead might also show up. You just watch.

Playdead co-founder slammed with lawsuit as bitter row with co-founder escalates

Playdead co-founder Dino Patti is allegedly being sued by his former studio and business partner.
Patti was threatened with a lawsuit earlier this year after he posted a now-deleted LinkedIn post that shared an "unauthorized" picture of co-founder Arnt Jensen and discussed some of Limbo's development. Patti said Jensen demanded a little over $73,000 in "suitable compensation and reimbursement," adding that he had "repeatedly" had such letters over the last nine years.
